Hi I'm Martin! Bought myself a V70 T5, had some issues with it, stupidly got it mapped to 310hp and of course the problems are still there!
Anyways, I've had codes pulled for faulty throttle pedal. removed the connector and reconnected it and they haven't been back for months, although sometimes the cruise control still disables itself as soon as I take my foot off the throttle after setting a speed.
Under load, the car appears fine but it seems to hesistate in the higher rpms and just generally feels a bit down on power especially when trying to hold boost for long periods of time (as you can see from my avatar I do plan on more track days), it's very intermittent.
It's got everyones favourite throttle body on it too, although I noticed that there appears to be a white dot painted on the TPS. Not sure if this has maybe been repaired in the past?
Okay, so the most current "faults" I've had where a code has been triggered. I can only pull generic P codes. I've had boost flow too low, boost flow too high, (not at the same time of course!) long term fuel trim lower limit - I think this last one is probably due to the fact my exhaust isn't in the best of condition. I can't remember the codes but that was the descriptions I have.
So, what I'm asking is, does this point at the MAF? I replaced it with an eBay cheapo. If I disconnect the MAF the car is slower but it boosts consistently slower - of course the idle is all over the place with that unplugged.
Anything else I could check? Boost solenoid and it's pipes? What size of pipe do I need if I change them to silicone?
Do you think my boost and stuttering is a combination of throttle pedal, boost solenoid and cheap MAF?
Thanks in advance
Martin
